Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name Lyrics - Change Everything - Del Amitri

With the sweet drip of every raindrop 

Time brings you closer to me 

And with each new sign, at every train stop 

Another hour without you is consigned to history 

And with each tick of my alarm clock 

I get crazy for the days to get to you 

When I can hold you and kiss you and have you 

Instead of staring at some photo like a fool 

But as day turns to night 

There's this hopelessness to fight 

When I think that 

I might not make it through 

But honey 

Sometimes I just have to say your name 

To hear it hanging in the air 

To know it sounds the same 

And sometimes when I'm blue 

I know just what to do 

To keep the blues at bay 

You know, I only have to say your name 

So this morning I picked up the paper 

In the useless descent of the rain 

While partners in heart break the whole world over 

Lie and cheat just the same 

And the headlines proclaim everything has changed 

Love can't save you now 

As each little motion of my wristwatch 

Holds up my faith somehow 

But as day turns to night 

There's this hopelessness to fight 

When I think that 

I might not make it through 

But honey 

Sometimes I just have to say your name 

To hear it hanging in the air 

To know it sounds the same 

And sometimes when I'm blue 

I know just what to do 

To keep the blues at bay 

You know, I only have to say your name 

When I've used up all my patience 

When your letters have been read 

Twenty times through 

I can drink all the wine in this place of mine 

But it ain't no replacement 

It ain't no replacement for you
